How to get help for someone who might be suicidal

The suicide rate is up in almost every state since 1999, including Pennsylvania, where it has risen by more than 30 percent, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The overall rise nationwide is about 25%.

Suicide presents a "growing public health problem", with significant increases in 44 of the 50 states, said the report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

"It's not a simplistic 'they have mental issues, they killed themselves'".

"CDC data shows that suicide happens to everybody", he said.

Veterans are also "overrepresented" in the report, she said. "Some coroners go back and do a thorough investigation, some don't". Relationships problems were considered a factor in 42 percent of suicides, followed by a recent life crises in 29 percent of cases, and substance use in 28 percent.

"Many of us have been personally impacted by this unfortunate reality", said Greg Lakin, the chief medical officer of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Our study has several interesting implications for suicide prevention.
